Ingredients
- 2 medium ripe tomatoes
- 4 slices sourdough bread
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 8 leaves fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 clove garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven's broiler to high and position a rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
Step 2
Slice the tomatoes into 1/4-inch thick rounds and set them aside.
Step 3
Lightly brush both sides of the sourdough bread with extra-virgin olive oil.
Step 4
Peel the garlic clove and cut it in half. Rub the cut side of the garlic clove over one side of each slice of bread to infuse it with garlic flavor.
Step 5
Place the bread slices on a baking sheet, garlic-rubbed side facing up.
Step 6
Arrange the tomato slices evenly on top of each piece of bread. Sprinkle a pinch of kosher salt and black pepper over the tomatoes.
Step 7
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the tomatoes, dividing it between the 4 slices of bread.
Step 8
Place the baking sheet under the broiler and broil for 5-6 minutes or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and begins to turn golden brown. Keep a close eye on it to prevent burning.
Step 9
Remove the sandwiches from the oven and immediately top each with 2 fresh basil leaves.
Step 10
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Sherby's Best Broiled Tomato Sandwich!
